Hello.

When using the TODO and FIXME tags, I ran into these problems.

1) Simple "FIXME" and "TODO" tags without the ending colon ":" character are not added to the todo list. This is a problem, because other IDE's like Zend Studio recognize versions without ending colon ":" and when I use projects from Zend in phpEd, this poses a huge problem, because the todo lists are not generated at all. Could you please change the todo list generating behavior, so "FIXME" and "TODO" tags without ending colon are recognized too? Example follows:

Code:

// TODO: this is recognized properly and added to the todo list
// TODO this is NOT recognized properly and is missing in todo list, also single TODO without the ending colon and without any text is not recognized
// FIXME: this is recognized properly and added to the todo list
// FIXME this is NOT recognized properly and is missing in todo list, also single FIXME without the ending colon and without any text is not recognized

2) In some cases, the FIXME and TODO are not recognized. I've noticed, that when a single line comment is inside a multi-line comment, the phpEd does not recognize FIXME and TODO tags under these conditions. Example follows:

Code:

/* FIXME: this is recognized properly and added to the todo list
// some unimportant comment
commented_function(); // FIXME: this is NOT recognized and is missing in todo list
commented_function(); // TODO: this is NOT recognized and is missing in todo list
*/

Any update on this? I'm finding the same issue at the moment in a project originally authored by someone else.

I suggest you submit this via the support system as a feature request.

The "official" tags, that i know of are @FIXME and @TODO, phpDoc syntax
Those are recognized without the colon.

The '@TODO' etc gets recognised, but you lose the checkbox in the 'To-Do List' tab, whereas using 'TODO:' will enable the checkbox which when selected will automagically change 'TODO:' to 'DONE:'.

Using the combination of @ and : chars removes it from the 'To-Do List' tab entirely.

Probably because there's nothing about "@DONE" in the PhpDoc syntax. There's some pretty strange logic sometimes behind the way NuSphere does things Smile

But I was talking about TODO, FIXME, etc. tags in comments from start, not @todo tags in phpDoc. The letter is ok, but I need the former to work properly.

@simshaun - I'll do as you suggest

I've contacted support and got this answer: Sad

According to our engineering, colon should be used for all tags except phpdoc's. We don't process comments inside comments separately, so for TODO to work you need to make sure that there is nothing to the left in the comment.

Hi everyone, I think it'll be a great improvement to configure those "// todo:" tags
Like a regular pattern : ~(//|#) *(todo|jack|rob|whatever)(subject)$~
In order to have more (customisable lists or todo tabs)

example : I tend to use the hash tag to put comments in php
#jack: do this
#rob:check for this array

in the coding process ( having multiple users )
